IMHO, if the addition of louvers helps so much, then the cooling problem

is either not enough exit area, or the airflow path is significantly
turbulent. I'm sure that venturi effect helps suck the air out through
the louvers, so some venturi work on the exit might help.

My guess is that he would not have had cooling problems to start with. I
added louvers and they do not seem to have helped much.
